Mon, 10 Feb 2014 23:29:43 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=694184#comment-275262I apologize, Mr. Dumars. I shouldn’t have voiced support for Mr. Cheeks and Mr. Hollins. Please forgive me.

Mon, 10 Feb 2014 23:27:48 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=694184#comment-275261I didn’t intend to spell it TRAIN. When I refer to Mr. Hollins again, I will use TRANE.

Mon, 10 Feb 2014 16:49:49 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=694184#comment-275100Hollins dismisses advanced stats. That’s why he currently has no job. His favorite player was Rudy Gay, and the two times he took the team to the WCFs, he was involuntarily deprived of Gay, once by injury, and last year when he was traded. He doesn’t understand what his good lineups are, and basically accidentally advanced in the playoffs twice when he couldn’t fill out the lineup card he wanted.

He is a dinosaur.

Mon, 10 Feb 2014 05:57:54 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=694184#comment-275024I say get him now. I think he would be a perfect fit (which is probably why they WON’T get him), who cares what the new GM wants.

Don’t want to see him slip away to another team he finds more attractive once all the HC spots open up after the season ends. Plus I’d like for the teams core to get half a season under their belts that way they know what to expect and they’d be more prepared getting a leg up going into to offseason.

Mon, 10 Feb 2014 03:13:05 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=694184#comment-274998I will tell you flat out that Josh Smith and Hollins would mix like old and water. Smith is talented but does not play to his strengths; you wouldn’t be able to count the number of f-bombs that would be dropped if Smith started jacking ill-advised 3’s under Hollins and continued with his quitting on the defensive end. Jennings and Hollins would probably have a love-hate relationship. Jennings would get better because Hollins would insist that he play better defense and take better shots, but his offense would initially suffer, much like Conley’s did under Hollins. But Detroit would win a lot of games, and with Hollins would be right in the mix of things in less than 3 years as long as management stuck with him.

Mon, 10 Feb 2014 01:04:28 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=694184#comment-274975They should make Dumars coach the team. He obviously thinks these guys mesh even though nobody else in the world does. Hollins is a very good coach and I can think of at least 10 teams that would be lucky to have him tomorrow.

Mon, 10 Feb 2014 00:57:12 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=694184#comment-274974i think he can do something good for the cavs

Mon, 10 Feb 2014 00:23:33 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=694184#comment-274968If Detroit is serious about winning then they need to let Dumars ride off into the sunset or at least down 8 Mile. Hollins should have been their first choice when he became available, because they didn’t go that way he should wait it out and see who else gets fired this season, there’s bound to be more openings in the Eastern Conference alone

Sun, 09 Feb 2014 21:04:09 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=694184#comment-274933Not if Dumars is GM. Because he won’t give you the right talent; the Josh Smith signing should signal that. Talent has to fit the coaching; you can’t just throw guys on a team.

Sometimes, you have to know what you’re stepping into, but guys like Cheeks feel that they can’t afford to be choosy. They don’t want to give up a chance, because they don’t don’t when another chance is coming, if ever.
